About Me
I’m a 3D Environment & Props Artist with over a year of freelance experience, focusing on creating game-ready environments and asset sets. I come from a traditional art background (7 years of drawing), which shapes my approach to form, composition, and visual clarity.

I’m particularly заинтересован in building cohesive environments and modular prop systems that work both visually and technically in a game pipeline. I pay close attention to detail, optimization, and consistency across assets. Currently, I’m focused on improving scene presentation, lighting, and overall production quality to match industry standards.

Skills
• Modeling: Blender (hard surface, modular workflows, efficient asset creation)
• Texturing: Substance Painter (PBR workflows, material definition)
• Game Engine: Unity (asset integration, basic scene setup)
• Additional Tools: SketchUp, Photoshop
• Pipeline: blockout → high/low poly → UV → baking → texturing → final presentation
